GEORGE H. OHINNOOK, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

ORNAMENTING GLASS LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,946, dated February27, 1883.

Application filed May 6,1880. (1\'oiuodc1.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonen H. GHINNOeK, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Decorating Glass Lamps and other Articles, of-which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and cheap means fordecorating the pillars of lamps, parts of gas-fixtures, vases, and otherarticles in imitation of ornamental porcelain, china, and likematerials.

To this end my invention consists in the combination, in a pedestal orcolumn, ot'a cylinder of glass or other transparent material, abody-piece fitting within the same, and a sheet or piece of decoratedpaper or analogous material fitting between the cylinder and bodypiece,as hereinafter described. I

It also consists in the combination, with a cylinder of glass or othertransparent material and a sheet or piece of ornamented paper or likematerial within the same, of cap-pieces or ferrules overlapping theglass cylinder, and preferably a central bolt retaining them together.

It also consists in the combination, in a table or center lamp, with theoil-receptacle and base, of the transparent tubular standard or cylinderand lining or backing of decorated paper or other material, allorganized, constructed, and held together substantially as hereinafterdescribed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side View of a lamp-pedestalfor a table-lamp embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a central verticalsection of a modified form of the same; and Fig. 3 is a central verticalsection of another modified form thereof.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all thefigures.

A designates the body of a lamp-pedestal, here represented as consistingof a cylinder of wood, with a hole, a, for a bolt extending1ongitudinally through it.

B designates a sheet or piece of paper or like material, wrapped aroundthe same and having its edges neatly joined lengthwise of the body A.This paper or like material may be ornamented to simulate the appearanceof marble or any decorated porcelain, china, or like material.

0 designates a cylinder or tubular standard of glass or othertransparent material, fitting around the body A, and paper or likematerial B. The paper or analogous materialforms a lining or backing forthe cylinder.

D designates cap-pieces or ferrules, of sheetbrass or other appropriatematerial of ornamental configuration, aud lapping over the ends of theglass cylinder.

D designates a portion of a lamp-reservoir or oil-receptacle supportedon the pedestal.

E designates a bolt passing through the body A, paper or like materialB, glass cylinder 0, and cap-pieces or ferrules D serving, with the aidof nuts b, to secure the same together and to a base-piece G.

In Fig. 3 the cylinder 0 is shouldered near the top and bottom, so thatit can secure the paper or like material in place longitudinally. Inthis case there is less necessity for the body A than in either of theother forms illustrated, though in neither form is it indispensable.When the body AWis not used the paper is either pasted to the interiorof the cylinder or else it is made so stiff that when rolled intocylindric form its natural elasticity will cause it to hug tightlyagainst the interior of the cylinder. The bolt E may be dispensed with,if desirable, and the parts otherwise secured together.

Numerous articles may be handsomely and cheaply decorated by the use ofglass and ornamented sheets or strips of paper or like material aecording to the principle of my invention.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The combination, in a pedestal or column, of a cylinder of glass orother transparent material, a body-piece fitting within the same, and asheet or piece of decorated paper or analogous material fitting betweenthe cylinder and body-piece, substantially as specified.

2. The combinatiomwith an external cylinder of glass or othertransparent material and a sheet or piece of ornamented paper or likematerial within the same, of cap-pieces or ferrules overlapping thesame, substantially as specified.

3. The combination of an external cylinder of glass or other transparentmaterial, a sheet or piece of ornamented material within the Same,cap-pieces or ferrules overlapping the scribed, the several parts beingfirmly held same,- and a bolt passing centrally throughtogethen'substantially as and for the purpose IO W the same and securingthem together, substanset forth.
